My friend Charles puts it eloquently:
Tying Trump to Epstein isn’t a “smear” if Trump was really abusing underage girls. This is the “transparency” MAGA was asking for until they realized that Dear Leader is probably guilty of some seriously bad stuff. My conservative friends might ask: “what if Clinton is in there?” to which I’d respond – ANYONE involved with abusing underage girls should go down HARD, I don’t care who they are. RELEASE THE FILES.
But this should be the common, shared wisdom of the American citizenry, and certainly the Democrats’ alleged concealment of Biden’s mental decline is of the same category, if not the same magnitude, as concealing a 32-times convicted felon’s possible and alleged abuse of underage girls.
I do repeat, alleged.
That it needs to be said speaks to the general corruption infesting the current political culture of the United States, doesn’t it? I characterize it as unwarranted arrogance a belief, adhering to both sides, that there is no need for compromise, that the other side is so evil….
Bah. Writing this yet again leaves a vile taste, blurs my sight, poisons the air.
Look, I don’t mind people “being political,” but joining an organization, meeting a bunch of people who confirm your quietly held positions, and thinking that it must make your positions right … is wrong.
Criticizing your own positions effectively is one of the hardest things an intelligent being can do.
